The game uses a unique, interactive vignette that you drag around in order to pan the camera and reveal settings and other characters around you. The controls in Burly Men at Sea are simple and intuitive, though it will take a bit of time to get used to since it’s a bit different from the norm. As I mentioned, there is a lot of reading involved with this game, so get ready for that - at least you can tap on the screen to skip the animation of text showing up on the screen. Even though you can just sit down and go through the entire game in one sitting, there are multiple paths that you can take at certain points, which mean brand new adventures that will certainly be worth your time.
The game does bring you back to where you last left off if you need to take a break, so you can safely leave the game without worrying. Since Burly Men at Sea is a point-and-click adventure game, there are no levels and you’ll go through the story from start-to-finish. They also have another title, Doggins, that is worth checking out as well. Overall, I would say that Brain&Brain knocked it out of the park with Burly Men at Sea in terms of the visual and audio department, which is amazing considering that Brain&Brain is a studio consisting of just a husband and wife. The atmospheric soundtrack is rather ambient and soothing, which sets the perfect mood for telling a folklore tale that is set in early 20th-century Scandinavia. Animations in Burly Men at Sea are smooth and fluid with no lag on my iPhone 7. Since the game involves a bit of reading in order to reveal the story and dialogue, it makes use of an easy to read serif typeface that is legible against the colored backgrounds. I feel like the game runs on vector graphics, and the colors are a nice mix of soft pastels and more rich and vibrant hues. P.S.Visually, Burly Men at Sea features a minimalist aesthetic that will definitely appeal to anyone who likes simple but elegant graphics. The game is cross-buy, with trophies, avatars, and cross-save support.
